A New Jersey man may have something very valuable in his possession: a painting by one of the most famous painters of all time, Picasso.
Carl Sabatino’s uncle bought the Picasso during World War II in London for a mere $30 — the same one called the "Woman with a Cape" also hangs at the Cleveland Museum of Art. It shows a woman wearing a feathered hat and a coat with an elaborate collar.
His aunt kept the painting hidden away in her Singer sewing machine under the belief that it was in fact an authentic piece. She filled Sabatino in on her secret before she passed away.
"The time period it came out of and all of the paperwork that came with it, the provenance on it, the signature examples, the forensics report — I really am convinced it is the real deal,” said art appraiser Richard Beaulieu.
It’s hard to imagine that the old machine might be holding such a gem — much like the secret bunker found in a Georgia home and the lost wedding ring found in a dumpster.
And if it is indeed the real deal, the price tag would be astronomical. Wait til you find out how much it would be worth below.
